OX40 Ligand/TNFSF4 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, rFc)
OX40 Ligand (TNFSF4) is a type II glycoprotein with a cytoplasmic tail of 23 aa and an extracellular domain of 133 aa. OX40 Ligand is a ligand for TNFRSF4 (CD134), belongs to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family. OX40 Ligand can activate OX40 and thereby functioning as a T cell co-stimulatory molecule. The OX40-OX40 Ligand interaction promotes effector T-cell survival and effectively induces memory T-cell generation, as well as enhances the helper function of Tfh for B cells, and also promotes the differentiation and maturation of DCs. OX40 Ligand/TNFSF4 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, rFc) is a recombinant mouse OX40 Ligand (Q49-L198) with N-terminal rFc tag, which is produced in HEK293.

Biological Activity
Description
OX40 Ligand (TNFSF4) is a type II glycoprotein with a cytoplasmic tail of 23 aa and an extracellular domain of 133 aa[1]. OX40 Ligand is a ligand for TNFRSF4 (CD134), belongs to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family. OX40 Ligand can activate OX40 and thereby functioning as a T cell co-stimulatory molecule. The OX40-OX40 Ligand interaction promotes effector T-cell survival and effectively induces memory T-cell generation, as well as enhances the helper function of Tfh for B cells, and also promotes the differentiation and maturation of DCs[1][2]. OX40 Ligand/TNFSF4 Protein, Mouse (HEK293, rFc) is a recombinant mouse OX40 Ligand (Q49-L198) with N-terminal rFc tag, which is produced in HEK293.
Background
OX40 Ligand (TNFSF4) is a type II glycoprotein with a cytoplasmic tail of 23 aa and an extracellular domain of 133 aa[1]. OX40 Ligand is expressed on antigen-presenting cells, such as B cells, dendritic cells (DCs), and macrophages, and airway smooth muscle cells[3]. OX40 Ligand is a ligand for TNFRSF4 (CD134), belongs to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family.
OX40 Ligand can activate OX40 and thereby functioning as a T cell co-stimulatory molecule. The OX40-OX40 Ligand interaction promotes effector T-cell survival and effectively induces memory T-cell generation, as well as enhances the helper function of Tfh for B cells, and also promotes the differentiation and maturation of DCs[1][2].
Mouse OX40 Ligand shares 81.31% aa sequence identity with rat, and shares <70% aa sequence identity with human.
The interaction between OX40 Ligand with OX40 is essential for the generation of antigen-specific memory T cells, and induces host antitumor immunity[4]. OX40 Ligand is critical for Th1 and Th2 responses in mice allergic inflammation[5].
In Vitro
OX4 Ligand (mouse, 1, 2 ng/mL) increases proliferation of CD4+ T cells isolated from mouse spleen[6].
